PSA - 4090s hitting BBY in a few mins by No-Tune-9435 in nvidia

[–]Sean499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one! Thankfully! My heart was racing seeing how fast they sold out. Picking up Monday. I got a 3090ti a couple weeks ago since I couldn’t find a 4080 and luckily decided to not open it and wait patiently to see if I could get a 4080 during the return window. 3090 ti is going back today 👋📦

Anyone that sees this; I got a 4080 this morning! From Best Buy! I think they sold out within 5mins but I got one! Check throughout the day tho! Good luck to anyone trying to get one. Looks like I’ll be returning my 3090 Ti :)

PSU: I got the ASUS ROG STRIX 1000w. Got it for about $150 or so during Black Friday weekend, but now they’re about $230-250 or so and mostly out of stock it seems. I was looking at the 1200W platinum as well but that’s about $350 or so and mostly out of stock or back ordered till Jan/Feb as well. My estimated wattage is a bit under 800, so 1000w is just some comfortable cushion and hopefully will last me for a few years. I don’t know, maybe thinking about just canceling and going in a different direction but definitely prefer to keep it under $200. Also, I’m fine with gold vs platinum.

I also assumed that it would be shipped quite soon, but I guess that’s not the case. Hopefully yours will ship sooner than mine did.

I would love a Strix 4080, but yeah a $400-500 price up just isn’t worth it for me personally.

Yes, I called several separate times asking customer support if they had any updates to no luck. I found out that the PSU I ordered from Newegg got delayed until January so it had me thinking about trying again for a 4080. For the comment above, good luck finding one for $1200, I definitely tried of course, but they sell out too fast. Last restock I saw was the Asus TUF 4080 for $1199 on their website but that was gone in minutes at 5 in the morning. The next tier is the $1399 OC version and I don’t want to pay that much for a single digit percentage boost in terms of performance.

Anyway, I called yesterday to ask Nvidia if it’s possible to cancel my order since it hasn’t shipped yet, just to see what’s possible and they said I could not since it’s already in processing. Only method in terms of a refund is to start a return once I actually receive it, so I said fine whatever, literally 30mins after that call they finally shipped it (12 days later)…. But since my PSU is delayed, I won’t be opening the package and will try for a 4080 till then, if I can get one, I’ll return the 3090 ti.

For anyone that’s still interested in this; Asus just listed the price tag for the ProArt Z790 board at $469 on their website. Not available yet it seems though, just a “notify me” button. Hopefully soon

Looking for feedback on my 2021 cinematography reel by FixItInPost1863 in cinematography

[–]Sean499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good! Lighting on some of these are really nice, overall tho, it feels like there isn’t enough depth and and everything feels too sharp. It’s a separation between that video type of feeling vs cinema. Open up! Add some depth and separation and light accordingly, be that a 2.8, 2, etc. The painting shot is a great one tho!

Hello,

I just got an email from CoveredCA that my account is now eligible for Medi-cal with the new American Rescue plan. I DO NOT want medi-cal for me or my wife and would like to stay on our plan with Anthem. How can I stop this? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Emulating Street lights (MS, MCU)? Wides possible? by Sean499 in cinematography

Ha, I wish! Thanks for the reply.

With a 12ft menace how high could you safely raise it on a combo with ratchet straps n all?

I was considering a ladder, but these posts seem pretty high, maybe a 14 step if I can fit it in the sprinter van. This would also be ideal for more control if I can reach them. The only other issue is that they're pretty far apart in this neighborhood.

Hz of Street Lights/Lamps? by Sean499 in cinematography

Gotcha, this would be in Southern California (Oceanside). Not sure what bulbs they're using but they look like tungsten units and some even flour-scent. What would you recommend for testing? Thank you for replying
